Hello everybody, I have had a few problems over the last few months which have stopped me contributing to the group, although I have tried to keep up with your post= as much as possible. The main problem that has kept me quiet is an operation for colon cancer.=A0 However, looking on the bright side, they apparently caught it in time to remove a small patch which had the cancer cells in the centre and which had not invaded the surrounding area.=A0 So, I am back to normal now (no bag or anything) but am being kept under strict observation. My question is if anyone taking Requip (or Sinemet come to that) has had a skin reaction?=A0 Over the last few months, subsequent to starting Requip I have noticed a rash of tiny spots, almost pinpricks,=A0 which were, at first, confined to the trunk area.=A0 They were only tiny spots and didn't come to a head= like normal spots do.=A0 At times they would be quite itchy and uncomfortable. Recently they have become a lot worse (more of them and in different= places).=A0 My doctor is puzzled, and after blood tests confirming liver function as OK has referred me to a skin specialist. I don't get to see the specialist until next Tuesday, so in the meanwhile wondered if anyone has had any skin problems with the Requip, or even= Sinemet? Thanks, Ernie.
